Could be a problem at mot time if the guards touch the fairing.
I fitted the Acerbis guards to my gen1 1000 and had to remove them at the mot station as tester would not pass it with them fitted as they touched the screen on full lock, he admitted that they were very unlikely to cause a problem but if I had an accident and the bike was inspected and the guards were found to touch the fairing then it could be claimed the steering was compromised by them.
Once I had the mot certificate I just put them back on.
